Abstract:The polarization dependences of some resonant multiphoton ionizations in atomic mercury have been measured with a broadband (bandwidth =1.5 crn-') multimode dye laser at moderate light intensities ( = 5 0 0~~. c m -' ) .The multiphoton processes studied were the absorption of four photons to a resonant 'So, ID?, or 'Dl level by one-photon ionization. Complete saturation of the one-photon ionization step results in the ionization of all atoms excited to the resonant level. Because of the saturation of the ioniz… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
